Pull request overview
Converts EnsureCaseSensitiveDirectoryRecursive in filesystem.cpp from recursive DFS to an iterative traversal to prevent stack overflows in the WSL service during deep directory upgrades (e.g., during distro import).
Changes:
- Replace recursive depth-first traversal with an explicit stack-based traversal.
- Preserve bottom-up (children-before-parent) case-sensitivity marking and existing retry semantics.
Replace unbounded recursive depth-first traversal with an iterative approach using an explicit stack. A deeply nested directory tree could overflow the thread stack during the recursive calls. The iterative version collects directories in reverse post-order during traversal, then marks them bottom-up (children before parents), preserving the ordering invariant that EnsureCaseSensitiveDirectory relies on for its early-exit optimization.
